Firefighters Rescue Dog Trapped In Submerged Car
Published: January 30, 2007
Golden Retriever was rescued from a submerged, overturned vehicle Monday night during a dramatic rescue in Puyallup, Wash.
The dog was one of two dogs that were in the vehicle when the driver lost control and the vehicle flipped into marshy water.
The driver and a small lap dog escaped the vehicle but the Golden Retriever was stuck inside, unable to get out.
Firefighters, a swift water rescue team, and a sheriff’s department dive team showed up to the accident but at first couldn’t get to the trapped dog.
A dive team using scuba gear worked to get to the dog and after a reported 30 to 40 minutes was able to pull it out of the vehicle and out of the water.
The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Both the small lap dog and the Golden Retriever are said to be doing just fine, although the Golden Retriever was not ready to get into a police car.
